Hello all of this fine forum! I have doozy of a task set up for us today.
Ill lose most of you here but small backstory. Im primarily a Yugioh player, but ive found that half of my friends are primarily magic players. Ive learned the game easy enough and play quite well with any deck ive had the pleasure to use. Now the problem being i have no deck of my own so i must borrow a friends deck each time we play. While the variety is fun as you might agree its not as satisfying.
Second problem being that ive already got myself addicted to my own cardboard crack and literally cant afford to toss myself down the rabbit hole that is deckbuilding and card collecting. So i decided to buy a made deck that contained my favorite monster Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger! (as well as most of the big eldrazi having such awesome effects) As a player i prefer strategy to my plays like control and tend to hold off the attack till its safe.
This was the only deck i found on ebay that actually contained Mr. Big Bad so i figured it would be my starting point.
Naturally i dont expect the final result will be keeping much or even most of these cards and thats perfectly fine.
Now that thats out of the way my friends all play casually so banlist stuff are paid no mind. Also this list is all the cards i own but based on the changes we make during this discussion i will over time make the necessary purchases. I dont mind and kindve prefer the card options given to be the best card choice rather then a substitute(even if it means itll be more expensive since naturally stronger cards will have their cost). Side note: one of my friends used the Urza lands tower, plant, and mine and i found that to be such a wonderful set up and would love to use it if its consistent for the deck.
For urzatron you'll want to play 4x expedition map. If you are playing without ban list I'd play cloudpost, glimmerpost, Vesuva, and Thespian Stage instead. It's a tad slow to get set up, but the sheer amount of mana that it gives is disgusting.
My biggest critique of the deck is the lack of power in the eldrazi. Most of the ones listed are just big bodies with no recourse if the opponent can chump block. Your artifacts are unnecessary for the most part, as a better land base will solve most of your mana issues. I've listed a number of budget cards that would be upgrades to the deck below. In particular, Ulamog's Crusher deserves a review. It's common, cheaper than most at 8 mana, and has anhiliator 2 which means that you don't even have to connect to get value out of it. I wanted to include All Is Dust but its pretty expensive right now. I hope it gets a reprint.
